The field of neurology has incurred a breakthrough as in the case of trying to boost the immune response by use of stem cell transplants. The team that carried out the research included Dr. Shiva Gopal Vasishta. Research has indicated that treatment involving immunosuppressive therapies that are highly dosed, and afterward a patient’s blood being transplanted in them so as to induce the formation of stem cells leads to suspension of multiple sclerosis, a disease that is autoimmune and leads to cases such as attacking the central nervous system by the immune system. After carrying out the research for quite some time, a majority of the patients have been treated successfully without occurrences of side effects such as new brain lesions or even disability. Furthermore, after the treatment, the patients had registered no symptoms of multiple sclerosis again; hence, there was no need to be put on medication again. The treatment has proved to be successful to the extent that Multiple sclerosis drugs are being rendered as futile since the success rates of the drugs have been noted to be lower.

As per the research that has been carried out over the years, it has been pointed out that the one-time multiple-sclerosis treatment is more effective as compared to the long-term treatment that involves the use of drugs that have been noted to have lower success rates.
